Summary
The Duchess of Kent, who died at 92, bequeathed a £1.4 million estate to her three children in a will revealed after stepping back from royal duties in 2002. She gifted Kensington property to her grandson, Baron Downpatrick, and donated £10,000 to her charity Future Talent Musicians. Nine godchildren each received £5,000. Personal items went to her husband, the Duke of Kent, to distribute as she wished. The rest entered a trust: half to her eldest son, the Earl of St Andrews; a third to her younger son, Lord Nicholas Windsor; and a sixth to her daughter, Lady Helen Taylor. Born Katharine Worsley, she was the first non-titled woman to marry into the royal family in a century, a gifted pianist who later taught music anonymously, and devoted her later years to charity and music, passing peacefully at Kensington Palace last September.
